Chapter 127: They Cooperate
"It's the third son of our family, is there anything wrong with the little boy asking like this?"
The person who led the way was the person next to Shui Wuze, and he heard Qu Youying ask, so he answered sideways.
Qu Youying shook her head and chuckled, "No." β
The man was not surprised, and led people all the way to Xiyuan, and on the way, he also explained some matters of Xiyuan to them clearly according to Shui Mistze's instructions.
Xiyuan is originally a guest room, for the birthday of the old lady, there are a lot of people who came this time, and some collateral relatives of Shuifu also came.
Originally, those people were all arranged in Xiyuan, but in the past half a month in Xiyuan, cats, mice, snakes and insects have always appeared.
In order to avoid disturbing others, after discussing with his father, Shui Wuze planned to tidy up the West Garden inside and out.
The rotting corpse found this morning was seen when the family was pruning the branches.
"According to the family, when they were pruning the branches yesterday, they didn't find any carrion there. But when I went to finish the rest of yesterday's work this morning, I found a sack under the tree, and in the sack was a rotting corpse. Judging from the tattered level of the clothes, they don't look like those worn by the people of Shuifu. β
In the middle of the conversation, he had already brought the group to Xiyuan.
It was a towering tree, with a thick and straight trunk and lush foliage, and it looked like it was many years old.
And under the big tree, there is a large fence outside the three zhang.
It not only blocks the carrion under the tree, but also makes it convenient for people to enter the investigation.
The external argument is that there are a large number of insects at the roots of large trees, and they need to be removed, so they are fenced so that they are not touched by people and not eaten.
"Lord Wang."
Under the big tree stood a nobleman dressed extraordinarily, dressed in a dark cardigan and dressed in jade, all of which were extraordinary. The facial features are also somewhat similar to Shui Linze, but they do not have the agility of the latter.
It's not ugly, but it's not handsome.
Qu Youying glanced at him, but she was not interested in him, she quietly stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the carrion in the white fence. There was no interest in his and Jiang Tong's greetings at all.
"So this is the coroner brought by the prince?"
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Shui Wuze finally pointed to Qu Youying and asked.
In fact, he saw this little boy early in the morning, she looked extraordinarily petite, with white skin and tender skin, like a woman, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a man.
Jiang Tong turned his head to look at Qu Youying, who was looking at the corpse, stretched out his hand and pulled her, and said with a smile, "I haven't come to see the third son of Shui yet." β
Qu Youying pursed her lips and said to Shui Mistze, "Little slave Jiang Si, please say hello to the third son." β
Ginger?
Mu Yu almost didn't laugh, he raised his eyes and saw the corners of his prince's mouth twitching.
This name is the equivalent of checkmate! No matter how unlucky it is, only she dares to say it.
"Young Master Jiang doesn't have to be polite." Shui Wuze also heard the words of this name, but he was embarrassed to laugh, he looked at Jiang Tong, who was obviously squinting on the side, and could only cut directly to the topic to avoid embarrassment, "I wonder when the little boy can start the autopsy?" β
"Right now."
Qu Youying raised the toolbox in his hand, and after nodding his head at Shui Mistze, he strode into the fence.
In the enclosure, a half-decomposed corpse lay flat on the ground, its clothes were gray and tattered, stained with corpse water and blood.
A face, the flesh and blood are blurred, almost impossible to see the original appearance, one of the eyes is gone, and the other is protruding outside, round and rumbling, black and white, and there is bloodshot inside, which is extraordinarily oozing.
Further down, there is pale flesh. Where the rupture is, there are maggots writhing, gnawing at the carrion little by little, as a daily meal.
And the pungent smell of rotting meat was not carried to every corner of Xiyuan with the gentle breeze.
Because someone put a pot of spices next to the rotting corpse. The smell of spices is strong and covers the stench of carrion.
"Ahh
Qu Youying sneezed several times in a row, put her finger horizontally under her nose, and protested to Jiang Tong, "The smell of this spice is too strong, my nose can't stand it, take it away quickly." β
Her nose can't smell anything too fragrant, otherwise she'll be sneezing all the time.
"But once you're gone, this smell, I'm afraidβ"
"There is a way to get rid of the smell of corpses, hurry up and remove it." Qu Youying interrupted Shui Mist Ze's words impatiently, and waved her hand, asking him to stop moving, she would throw it out herself. "Go get an empty charcoal basin. Then bring me some plenty of water. β
Shui Mist Ze was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want Qing Shui for?" β
"This corpse is full of maggots and stolen goods, which are contaminated on the corpse, and it must be clear and clean before further autopsy, otherwise external factors may interfere with the results of the autopsy."
Jiang Tong applied sesame oil to his nose one step earlier, and kept using a fan to shake away the unpleasant smell.
He heard that Qu Youying was going to wash the corpse, and felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Let someone do this kind of thing." β
"Nope." Qu Youying shook her head and refused, "Cleaning the corpse is also a technical job, and if the cleaning is not good, it will also destroy the evidence hidden on the corpse, so I have to come in person." Third son, please quickly ask someone to prepare water, this day is too hot, at such a time to conduct an autopsy, I am tired, you are waiting very hard, right? β
Shui Wuze covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and gave orders to the people around him again and again.
Qu Youying knocked on his appearance and smiled wordlessly.
After the charcoal basin and water were brought, Qu Youying took out the atractylodes soap and lit it in the basin, which slightly removed some of the pungent taste.
Then she began to wear gloves and began to wash the body.
She tore open her torn clothes and began to formally wash the body.
"This person is a woman."
She was the only one in the fence, and everyone else was standing some distance away from the fence, so all she could know was what she said inside.
"Do you know how old you are?"
"Judging by the height of the person and the length of his teeth and lower limbs, he should be between seventy-five and eighty years old. Andβ"
When Qu Youying turned the body over, she saw a circular mark on the skin on the left side of her back.
It's about the size of an adult's palm, and I don't know what left it, and the edge of the mark is pressed very deeply, which leads to the necrosis of the surrounding skin, but the skin in that place is intact.
However, this corpse was naturally decomposing, and it was impossible for this piece to be covered by something, so a piece of skin was preserved.
She frowned and said to herself, "It must be something here, it has an antiseptic effect." But what is it exactly? β
She scraped the surface of the skin with a knife and found white chips, and finally peeled off the skin completely.
While she was doing this, the people outside were still waiting for her to say "and".
But it didn't wait.
Shui Wuze asked a little anxiously, "What did the little boy find?" β
"There is a knife mark on this person's heart, about the width of two horizontal fingers, the knife is sharp, and the flesh and blood that pierces the place are neat, and there is only one stab."
She laid down the body, stood up, took off the gloves from her hands, and said, "The flesh of the part that clings to the bone is red, and it has not yet rotted, and there are no maggots." There were no other wounds on his body, so I concluded that the man had been stabbed into the wound before he died, and that the murderer acted neatly, and the deceased had no ability to resist. But to know the further details of the body, I need an autopsy. β
She threw her dirty gloves aside, and then stepped out of the fence, Mu Yu was excited, and when she saw that her hands were stained with some blood, he washed her hands with water.
Qu Youying tilted her head slightly and gave him a big smile.
Shui Wuze on the side asked, "If it is after the autopsy, can you know the specific identity of this person?" β
"I can't." Qu Youying shook her head and said, "I'm just a puppet, and I'm in charge of the autopsy." I can only give the information I got on the corpse, and as for finding out the identity of this person, it is really not within my power. β
"Then it's up to us."
A slightly familiar voice quietly floated over with the wind, and Qu Youying looked at the source of the voice, and couldn't help but change her face slightly and frown.
"Fourth brother, why did you come now?" Shui Wuze was a little displeased, and said that he would come here to watch the autopsy together, but he didn't come until now, and he was followed by a strange man, which made Shui Wuze squint, "Who is this person?" Didn't you say that outsiders were not allowed to intervene? β
"Third brother, have you forgotten our previous conversation?"
Shui Linze covered his mouth and smiled, jumped his eyebrows at Qu Youying with an indecent expression, and said, "This is the god hunter Mu Jingzhu I invited, he is a well-known god hunt in Xiangling Town, with him, this matter will definitely be investigated quickly." β
"Wood Candle?"
Shui Wuze was taken aback, he had heard of this person's name, but he had never seen a real person, and when he looked at it today, it was really unusual.
He arched his hand and signaled, "Wood God Catch, it's rude." β
"The third prince doesn't have to be polite." Mu Jingzhu's eyes have been falling on Qu Youying's body since he came in, and she has only been dodging since she first glanced at him, he suppressed the mood fluctuations in his heart and turned to Jiang Tong's side, "I don't know that King Ji is also here, it's rude." β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Jiang Tong shook the fan, took a step, stood beside Qu Youying, and then stretched out his hand and naturally put it on her shoulder, "The autopsy is over, and the rest will be left to you." β
He knocked Qu Youying's shoulder with a fan, Qu Youying understood, lowered his head and planned to follow him away.
But he was stopped by Mu Jingzhu reaching out.
"Lord Wang, in fact, before coming in, we have heard about the conversation just now, but there are still too few clues, and it is quite laborious to investigate, so we need her to dissect the body for further examination."
What Brother Mu said is very true, after all, grandma's birthday is approaching, and this matter must not be delayed until then. So third brother, what do you think? β
Shui Linze and Mu Jingzhu sang and harmonized, looking full of tacit understanding.
Qu Youying was very puzzled in her heart, they met for the first time outside the restaurant that day, and the atmosphere at that time was not very good, why did they call the tacit understanding of brothers and sisters like this today?
